Look at the image above and see what is wrong in the picture, there is a construction worker doing a task around a high exposure of dust without any proper PPE. Construction workers have been identified in many other studies as being at risk of exposure to a number of carcinogens, particularly asbestos, wood, dust, crystalline silica, solar UV radiation and diesel engine exhaust.

The construction industry was identified as having the highest prevalence of potential exposure to carcinogens with a (60%) of “dust” (concrete and cement, wood dust, “environmental dust” and “road dust”).

Every second of reduced exposure to occupational carcinogens could mean an investment in a life.
